My reading response it to A&P by John Updike. In this book the main character is Sammy and while reading this I found five different traits of Sammy. One trait of Sammy is that he is very childish, Sammy likes joking around with his friend who also works at the store. Sammy is very judgemental, throughout the whole story he is very judgmental of different people. Sammy also has a very vivid imaginative he thinks up different scenarios within the story. Sammy also observes everything that happens within the store. Sammy also was very impulsive at the ending by just quitting, but you could also see the ending as Sammy standing up for his beliefs.
I really liked how the author let us see everything Sammy was thinking and seeing. It was almost like we are there were Sammy is. Even though we could see everything some of the parts were very weird and creeped me out to see what was all going through is head. The setting in this book was in a A&P, which is a grocery store, in the 1960's. You could tell this was in the 60's because of how differently people talked and how cheap some of the products were compared to today's prices.
